Journal ArticleDOI
Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of remote sensing elements of photogrammetry was introduced. Butterfly, thermal, and hyperspectral sensors were used to interpret multispectral, thermal and hypererspectral images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land evaluation for land use planning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods and recommendations for the evaluation of the physical characteristics of land that will contribute toward the development of effective master plans for land use in metropolitan fringe areas of the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer-based land use suitability maps
TL;DR: A computer-based method for generating land use suitability evaluations for urbanizing areas is presented in this paper, which is based on an analysis of the physical characteristics of land, such as topography, soil class, soil drainage, flood hazard, and depth to bedrock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terrain Analysis for Metropolitan Fringe Area Planning
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for mapping the physical characteristics of land, and for applying this information to an evaluation of the suitability of the land in metropolitan fringe areas to urban development is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of Airborne Remote Sensing Technology
Ralph W. Kiefer,James P. Scherz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the applications of aerial remote sensing technology to soil mapping, water pollution detection and monitoring, and urban and regional planning is presented. But the emphasis is on photography, thermal imagery, multispectral imagery, and side-looking airborne radar.
